Mitchell just said that I seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Lego Technic parts. I haven't, I have a box full of stuff that gets a good rummage around, hoping to find something that hopefully does the job.

This is Coimbra,the portuguese city of knowledge, whit it's university on the top of the hill and Mondego's river.
I´m just making a break from my photos from Tomar, and searching for old forgotten stuff in my archives!
Have a great weekend, flickr friends!

True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, "Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel 'Catch-22'
has earned in its entire history?"
And Joe said, "I've got something he can never have."
And I said, "What on earth could that be, Joe?"
And Joe said, "The knowledge that I've got enough."
Not bad! Rest in peace!"
[Kurt Vonnegut, The New Yorker, May 16th, 2005]
I took this vertically on my Intrepid 4x5 with my Nikon 210 lens and Kodak Tmax 400 then scanned it on my new Epson v850. I then widened it to a 3x2 aspect ratio and it took hours and hours to recreate the rest of the dock on the left side of the image. It's not perfect and I'd like to take even more time and possibly reupload it in the future but this photo here represents my years of knowledge and hard work getting better at this art. I'm really proud of it.

A magnetic filament of solar material erupted on the sun in late September, breaking the quiet conditions in a spectacular fashion. The 200,000 mile long filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, the corona, leaving behind what looks like a canyon of fire. The glowing canyon traces the channel where magnetic fields held the filament aloft before the explosion. Visualizers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. combined two days of satellite data to create a short movie of this gigantic event on the sun.
In reality, the sun is not made of fire, but of something called plasma: particles so hot that their electrons have boiled off, creating a charged gas that is interwoven with magnetic fields.
These images were captured on Sept. 29-30, 2013, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, which constantly observes the sun in a variety of wavelengths.

If there is an absolute truth, should it be something that can be known, or is absolute truth something that cannot be turned into an object of knowledge? This distinction actually separates science, philosophy, and mystical experience.
As the "year is ending" and "a new one" is around the corner how much have you developed this past year? How much have you worked on yourself? Your character, personality, self-confidence, relationships, friendships, knowledge, health, emotions. It's nothing to do about your job or your dreams. It's about your life.

"Knowledge is power" ~ Sir Frances Bacon ... but
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” ~Albert Einstein
An alternative (and final!) take on Salisbury Cathedral's new font.
If it served no other purpose, the cathedral would stand as a superb testament to the skills of thousands of craftsmen and artisans down the ages - including this recent piece.
At least, that is the motto seen here over a side entrance to the old main building of Hamburg University. It is not that old, only dating from 1911. And it did not start as a university (that happened in 1919, in the Weimar Republic) but a "Kolonialinstitut". Germany before 1918 did have colonies. Knowledge as an instrument of power gets a totally new meaning then. But even later, when being a university, this academic institution was rather particular where its knowledge ought to be invested. For the Jews they did not cry when thousands were assembled next door virtually, at the Moorweide, and deported to their death. Knowledge? Yes. But whose knowledge, whose power? Fuji X-Pro1.
Mystery solved! I've been trying to get to know my new home area, and on one of my numerous recce trips had passed this farmyard out at Newton of Ardtoe, and wondered why there was an ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter residing next to a cattle shed. In the absence of anyone around I was left wondering until today when a local, liberally spattered in cow sh!t came out of a nearby house with his wife, and I was able to ask him. Well Gordon told me it had been bought by a local fisherman who had a vision to convert it into a snack shack or an AirBnB. Ah yes, what a good idea....and then it transpired this was not just any local fisherman but one who lives 20 yards over my garden fence. Thankfully, I know there is no room near us to move a redundant ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter to, but said neighbour does not have the best reputation in these parts for maintaining the peace. Quite how it landed in the back o'beyond remains a mystery. These things are BIG!. But I'm discovering there are many colourful locals in these parts and strange things do happen.
You should never underestimate farmers and fishermen in these parts. Next to the helicopter the farmer is building his own SpaceX Mars rocket rival
